Bombs Away! Washington Has Gone Stark Raving Mad

America’s spanker-in-chief is at it again - threatening to bomb Syria owing to the uncivilized actions of its inhabitants. And when it comes to Syria, Washington avers that there are punishable malefactors virtually everywhere within its borders.

Exactly one year ago Obama proposed to take Bashir Assad to the woodshed because he had allegedly unleashed a vicious chemical attack on his own citizens. That was all pretext, of course, because even the CIA refused to sign-off on the flimsy case for Assad’s culpability at the time—-a reluctance corroborated since then by the considerable evidence that hundreds of Syrian civilians were murdered during a false flag operation staged by the rebels with help from Turkey. The aim of the rebels, of course, was to activate American tomahawk missiles and bombers in behalf of “regime change”, which was also the stated goal of the Obama Administration.

Now the White House is threatening to bomb Syria again, but this time its “regime change” objective has been expanded to include both sides! In 12 short months what had been the allegedly heroic Sunni opposition to the “brutal rule” of the Assad/Alawite minority has transmuted into the “greatest terrorist threat ever”, according to the Secretary of Defense.

So Obama has already unleashed the drones and surveillance apparatus to identify targets of attack that will help bring down a regime in northern and eastern Syria—the so-called Islamic State—which did not even exist a year ago. And a regime that is now armed to the teeth with America’s own latest and greatest weaponry as previously supplied to the disintegrated Iraqi army and the Syrian rebels trained by the CIA in Jordan.

Adding to this blinding farce is the warning of Syria’s Foreign Affairs minister that Obama should please to request permission before he rains destruction from the sky on the Opposition—-that is, the opposition to the very same Damascus regime which the White House has vowed to eradicate. Needless to say, the Washington apparatus is having nothing to do with aiding the enemy of its new enemy:

White House spokesman Josh Earnest on Monday tried to tamp down the notion that action against the Islamic State group could bolster Assad, saying, “We’re not interested in trying to help the Assad regime.” However, he acknowledged that “there are a lot of cross pressures

In fact, there is apparently an option emerging from the bowels of the war machine that calls for an odd/even day plan to bomb both sides, thereby making clear that Washington is an equal opportunity spanker.Apparently, whether you use a 12th century sword or 20th century attack helicopter as a means of rule, you will be bombed by the “indispensable nation”, as Obama put it, adding that “no other nation can do what we do”.

Well, that involves some “doing”. According to AP, it appears that Syrian airstrikes are imminent, but could be carried out under the odd/even day plan:

“In an effort to avoid unintentionally strengthening the Syrian government, the White House could seek to balance strikes against the Islamic State with attacks on Assad regime targets.”

Is any more evidence needed that Washington has gone stark raving mad than even the possibility that such an absurd option could be under consideration? Has not the imperial city on the Potomac become so inured to its pretensions of global hegemony and to instant resort to deployment of its war machine that any semblance of rationality and coherence has been dissolved?

Indeed, in the context of Syria’s fractured and riven tribal, religious and political splinters how could anyone in their right mind think that a bombing campaign without boots on the ground will accomplish anything other than function as a potent recruiting tool for ISIS, and a generator of jihadist blowback for years to come. By the same token, the White House’s polling machine surely documents that an outright Iraq-style invasion of the Islamic State is overwhelmingly opposed by the American people, and rightly so.

Accordingly, the silly, hapless man in the Oval Office stumbles forward, apparently unaware that he’s not merely playing video games during his sojourns in the Situation Room. Indeed, the make-believe “nuanced” bombing options that are likely to be ground out by the national security machinery are destined to fail and drag Washington ever deeper into the violent cauldron of Mesopotamia and the Levant. The trillions of treasure wasted, the millions of lives lost and the venomous tribal enmities resulting from Washington’s misbegotten ventures in Iraq and Afghanistan provide all the proof that is needed.

The fact is, the artificial states created by the Sykes-Picot map drawn up by the French and British foreign offices in 1916—- as they carved up the Ottoman empire— are now destined for the dustbin of history. The fracturing remnants of Syria and Iraq cannot be fused back together by means of lethal deposits of metal and chemicals delivered by tomahawks and F-16s.

So let the region rearrange itself without Washington’s unwelcome meddling and mayhem. If Turkey and an independent Kurdistan can make mutually acceptable political and economic arrangements, which are already well-advanced, so be it. If the Shiite south in Iraq and the Alawite/Shiite southwest in Syria break-off from their present Europe-bequeathed boundaries and form independent regimes, how does that jeopardize the safety and security of the citizens of Lincoln NE and Spokane WA?

And, yes, if the Islamic State temporarily manages to coalesce within the Sunni lands of the Euphrates Valley and the upper Tigress why is that really a national security threat which requires launching an unwinnable war, a new round of hostility to America in the Islamic world and the blowback of legions of jihadi with a score to settle?

Now that you know about the Yazidis, did you ever hear of the Sheitaat tribe of Sunnis who inhabit the minor oil province around Deir al-Zor in northeastern Syria? There appear to be about 100,000 members of that sect in the region and they have been declared apostates by the medieval butchers who run ISIS:

Hundreds of members of the Sheitaat clan have been executed after their tribe refused to submit to Islamic State. The entire tribe have been deemed “hostile apostates” by the group, an offshoot of al Qaeda that has declared a “caliphate” in the territory it holds.

Islamic State has declared the Sheitaat tribe “an unbelieving sect” that should be fought as if they were infidels, according to a report from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in the Syrian war.

At least 700 hundred members of the tribe have already been executed, the Observatory reported on Aug. 16.

Another 1,800 are still missing after being detained by Islamic State, according to the Observatory, which gathers information from all sides in the Syrian war. Its efforts to pledge allegiance to Islamic State have been rebuffed.

Pictures of the bodies of men apparently slain by Islamic State fighters in Sheitaat areas are surfacing every day, said Rami Abdelrahman, founder of the Observatory. “We have repeatedly expressed concerns about extermination,” he said.

“It is the first time that the Islamic State has used these (religious) concepts against an entire tribe,” he said.

Three Sheitaat villages seized by Islamic State have been designated as a military zone, the rebel and another activist from the area said. The clan’s property and livestock have also been seized, another person from the area said.

Islamic State has declared that no truce is possible with the Sheitaat, that its prisoners can be killed, and its women are unfit for marriage, according to the Observatory.

“We’re still seeing Islamic State trucks loaded up with furniture and rugs from Sheitaat homes in those villages, which are now totally abandoned,” said one person from the area contacted by internet link, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Islamic State has started to use house demolitions as a punishment. A video posted over the weekend shows what appears to be the detonation of a rural home as the narrator, who identifies himself as from Islamic State, explains that the home belongs to Sheitaat “apostates”.

Why would you believe that a viable state can be built in today’s world on the tactics of Genghis Kahn? The Islamic State, such as it is, is not rich, does not have enough oil to make a difference, will soon be bogged down in the insuperable problems of governance by the sword and will flounder on the impoverished economics of the dusty villages and desert expanse which comprise its natural territory. And it will eventually mobilize its neighbors—-Turkey, Hezbollah, the rump regime of Assad’s Alawite Syria, Kurdistan, the Shiite alliance of Iran and lower Iraq, and even Saudi Arabia and the oil sheikdoms—to contain its external ambitions.

So Washington should call off the bombers and get out of harm’s way. The American Imperium has failed and the prospect of bombing both sides of an irrelevant non-country’s ancient tribal wars ought, at last, to make that much clear.

Actually, it's not madness at all - it's pure genius! Assad refused to be the heinous dictator who would slaughter the defenseless, so the TRIBE has simply installed it's own batch of phycopaths in Syria as an excuse to bomb the entire country.

The Jews the Jews, the scary Jews! Are you people kidding me. This person wrote "makes you wonder who the real Nazis were" and you give it thumbs up. I used to think ZHers were above average- things are going down hill.

The amount of people renouncing are undercounted. Waiting times around the world do not add up as they can process many per day. In Toronto, Canada, the amount they can process in a year is just about the same as the official number of renunciants and relinquishments for the wolrd per year.

These are all very busy people who will remain busy until someone stops them. We should be careful of what we wish for after years of complaining about wasteful, lazy inefficient government employees. We now have numerous agencies busily writing laws, making policies and generally fucking up the world. If they would only all go play golf.

Imagine the sick irony if Hitler was actually right. Not to say what he did was anything but evil, but if the alternative is even worse. I've read enough excerpts from the Torah to know the jews have a contemptable hate for non-jews and are obsessed with returning to the homeland to herald the return of god. Bottom line is the zionists may be far more brutal and crazy than Hitler and may just push this world to thermonuclear war.

What an irony, the type of sick irony this universe likes to play on us naked apes to fuck us up.

The world is full of half truths. People do not distinguish Americans from the American government, nor Zionists from Jews. One group represents often what individually we resent. Sometimes it is hard for individuals to relent their hatred against a people when they view all of them as a whole rather than their individual moving parts. But that is the human mind for you.

The Jews are racist, don't kid yourself. Possibly one of the most racist groups on the face of the earth. This is not spoken about just as most Christians daren't speak too much of the Old Testament. Non Jews are hated by Jews, their Torah demands it . It's also permissible for a Jew to lie to a non Jew, a law most politicians steel.

The above is just a thought experiment, radical I know. If Americans don 't speak out against their governments wrong doing then they are equally culpable and deserve to be painted with the same brush the world paints the US government. Same with the Jews. If they don't speak up against Zionism they are tacit zionists.

See, if he bombs Assad once on Tuesday, he'll pay him back with two ISIS bombing runs on Wednesday. Its kinda like coming in late to work and telling everyone you're gonna leave early to make up for it.

Those whacky Haaahvahd Law grads...lol...what are you gonna do with them ;-)

Obama the Mad Drone Bomber must obey the orders of the New World Order. ISIS caliph Al-Bagdadi wears a bogus shoe polish black beard straight out of the CIA prop department. The only way to put an end to Obama's deranged foreign policy is to bring to justice the master button pushers responsible for the drone jet attacks on the World Trade Center and the drone missile attack on the Pentagon.

The middle east is filled with false pride like a cat over a crappy culture and history, and is dumb as a room full of cats. And they live in a giant sandbox. What if the middle east is the Hindu destination for bad cats when they die? ISIS was also the god of cats.

It is so comforting to know that these dumb ass ISIS terrorists will stay in Iraq/Syria and allow us to bomb the hell out of them. No way any of them would be smart enough to sneak into America through the Mexican border and retaliate.

Not stark raving mad in the least. It is quite clear Obama is following the beat of a different drum.....his handlers' drum. The power of the president was left splattered all over Dealey Plaza many decades ago. Puppets have occupied the office ever since.

I agree, Cognitive Dissonance, on the first level, but not thoroughly.

I tend to believe that getting away with the assassination of President Kennedy prepared the path to get away with the events on 9/11/2001 becoming a successful inside job, false flag attack. Washington has apparently gone stark raving mad because Washington's foreign policy is controlled by Zionists, which want to destroy the American democratic republic, at the same time as American power destroys itself following through on insane wars based on deceits. However, the greatest tragedy regarding all of this is that its trajectory is surely going to get way worse within the foreseeable future. In my view, that will become so extremely bad that it will NOT be the case that these triumphs of the systems of debt slavery, backed by wars based on deceits, will work for anybody in the longer term!

While I agree that American politicians have become the banksters' puppets, who are pursuing a foreign policy promoted by the NeoCons, who are dominated by Zionists, I do NOT agree that their agenda is not also criminally insane, on another level of longer term consequences, in which NOBODY WINS! While I agree that Obama is following the beat of a different drum, I believe that is leading towards everyone suicidally walking over a cliff, whose bottom cannot now be seen.

THE GREAT PARADOX IS THAT "SUCCESSFULLY" CONTROLLING CIVILIZATION THROUGH BACKING UP LIES WITH VIOLENCE EVENTUALLY DESTROYS EVERYONE. Those who were the best at doing that, in each short-term increment, control what society does. However, they must necessarily lose control over the whole process eventually, because that is all runaway criminal insanity!

I didn't mean to restrict my criticism to 'just' the president. Anyone who witnessed live, or later researched The Church Committee hearings, understands how corrupt Congress and various cabinets level agencies were....let alone the CIA, FBI etc etc etc even back then. JFK was the final straw as far as somewhat independent minded presidents are concerned.

It is hard to point to any one 'event' because it is like rust, a process that morphs into a bucket of rust before you know it.

Pull up the actual committee report rather than read a summary. You will be blown away......and this was the stuff that got past all the filters, blackouts and 'interested person' (read national security) redacts.

"because it is like rust, a process that morphs into a bucket of rust before you know it"

Yes!

We already can see through the holes in the bucket. The established political system is already useless. The democratic republic and rule of law have been undermined and eroded until they are rusty ruins!

This seems pretty far out but so did a lot of what Alex Jones said a few years ago. It goes along with CD's assertion that the power of the presidency was hijacked in 1963. I don't know what to believe any more unless I read it here complete with comments.

Obama almost lied his way to a war with Syria last year. Now he will attack Syria without any justification. After all, killing brown people does not count. Already about 200,000 dead in Syria. How many more must die?

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published an article demonstrating that the US government and President Barack Obama knowingly lied when they claimed that the Syrian government had carried out a sarin gas attack on insurgent-held areas last August.

Hersh’s detailed account, based on information provided by current and former US intelligence and military officials, was published Sunday in theLondon Review of Books. The article, entitled “Whose sarin?,” exposes as a calculated fraud the propaganda churned out day after day by the administration and uncritically repeated by the media for a period of several weeks to provide a pretext for a military attack on the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The CIA produced dozens of fake videos and audios of Osama bin Laden until his second death on May 2, 2011. He first died on December 15, 2001.

So it is easy for the CIA to produce a fake execution video and for politicians in the land of the free to terrorize people with it (ISIS is already here under your bed) and move a nation to war. History repeats.

Looks like US goverment is going to bomb assad and pretend that they were bombing ISIS. This way they will be able to put ISIS in power; making room for the gas pipeline from middle east to Europe. US government will also make sure that the natural gas is sold in US dollars.

Lebensraum (help·info) (German for "habitat" or literally "living space") was one of the major political ideas of Adolf Hitler, and an important component of Nazi ideology. It served as the motivation for the expansionist policies of Nazi Germany, aiming to provide extra space for the growth of the German population, for a Greater Germany. In Hitler's book Mein Kampf, he detailed his belief that the German people needed Lebensraum ("living space", i.e. land and raw materials), and that it should be found in the East. It was the stated policy of the Nazis to kill, deport, or enslave the Polish, Russian and other Slavic populations, whom they considered inferior, and to repopulate the land with Germanic peoples. The entire urban population was to be exterminated by starvation, thus creating an agricultural surplus to feed Germany and allowing their replacement by a German upper class.

There is no 9/11 litmus test... even though there is a youtube video claiming such (with only a few thousand views). Are you saying that 99.9% of the world's population that hasn't even heard of this test are tools? Maybe you are the tool.

The middle east would be so much saner if mohammed would have liked beer and treating women as human beings. As it is, I have never heard of an insane asylum in an islamic country. What would be its purpose?

Feels like it's a part of one coordinated attack against Russia. All potential allies have to be eliminated. When the US/NATO move in, Russia has to be standing by iself - Syria, Iran smoldering craters - China having a currency collapse and everyone else being distracted. A now-or-never moment.

Nike or Nuke - the motto's the same. "Just do it!"

How does Obama keep his composition though all this without coming on television and feverishly yelling at the teleprompter: "Nein, nein, nein!"

“The bankers had been waiting since 1887 for the United States to enact a central bank plan so that they could finance a European war among the nations whom they had already bankrupted with armament and ‘defense’ programs. The most demanding function of the central bank mechanism is war finance.”

For example, continues Eustace Mullins in The Secrets of the Federal Reserve, the forerunner to G. Edward Griffin’s Creature from Jekyll Island:

“The documentation of Kuhn, Loeb Company’s involvement in the establishment of Communism in Russia is much too extensive to be quoted here, but we include one brief mention, typical of the literature on this subject. In the book, Czarism and the Revolution, Gen. Arsene de Goulevitch writes:

‘Mr. Bakmetiev, the late Russian Imperial Ambassador to the United States, tells us that the Bolsheviks, after victory, transferred 600 million roubles in gold between the years of 1918-1922 to Kuhn, Loeb Company.’”

Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb was the architect of the U.S. Federal Reserve System.

Writes Roman Baudzus: And now the U.S. under the hammerlock of the Fed in 2002 has openly voiced “threats in a law that had been passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate of the U.S. Congress that could eventually result in an invasion of the Netherlands by United States army forces.”

Continues Baudzus: “When this was learned outrage was expressed not only within the Dutch government, but also among the population of the country. According to the law, if it should ever happen that American citizens are brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and accused at The Hague, Washington would exercise the preemptive right to invade the country in order to prevent prosecution.”

As a result, Europeans are turning against the press and the "propagandistic nature of the Western mainstream media," for example, as in Germany, where “the press was an extension of Washington’s propaganda machine despite the lack of evidence from both Washington and Kiev to support their irresponsible claims.”

“The cumulative sales of German newspapers reached their climax back in the year 1983 – with a circulation of 30.1 million copies…

In 2013, the circulation shrank to only 17.3 million sold copies – a significant decline of 42.5%, which really hurts many publishers. Persistent cost-reduction programs, massive job cuts and the demise of daily newspapers such as the Financial Times Deutschland are the consequence of newspapers in vassalage to Washington. Many excuses are made for the decline, but the real reason is that German newspapers no longer take their readers seriously

“Germans wonder why their reunited country is still occupied by US troops 69 years after the end of World War II, why their country has no foreign policy independent of Washington, and why the German media provides no public discussion of these highly unusual characteristics of an allegedly sovereign state…

“The German newspaper Die Welt even blamed the outbreak of the ebola virus on Russia”

Continues Baudzus: “Given the danger of Washington pushing Europe into war with Russia, one can be glad that so many Europeans see through the perfidious propaganda lies spread by the mainstream media. Internet sites now perform the role abandoned by newspapers….

“Some of the large German newspapers destroyed what little credibility they had left when they used social media to spread their claim that the negative comments on their websites were written by people on the payroll of Vladimir Putin…”

The US Congress is bankrolled by the Fed international bankers. It has become a Zionist-directed terrorist body, led by a Zionist puppet, and feared by most of the free peoples of the world. Until the Federal Reserve System is uprooted from America’s economic field, and burned, no peoples of the world will be safe from its terrorist operations to establish a one-world US-Israel Oligarchy.

“Simply put, for increasingly more Americans it is now more lucrative - in the form of actual disposable income - to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work. …Gary Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (a state best known for its broke capital Harrisburg) quantitied, and explained…'the single mom is better off earnings gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045.'"

And, oh yes, if a welfare household chooses not to work: “Welfare now pays the equivalent of $30 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25 ($21 after taxes) an hour.” – or $61,320+ per year (2011) for a welfare household.

If we are going to overthrow any regime in the world, number 1 on the list needs to be Mexico. We take Mexico, then every Mexican becomes an American citizen. Mexico has oil, manufacturing, and resort/vacation centers. We solve so many more issues by taking Mexico and we can drive there. Syria is so far away although they do have Syrian bread. Hmmm.

O'douchbag wants to bomb two different sides in the same country. It takes a special kind of incompetence to try and pull off something like this. The deapth of his detachment from reality is absolutely pathological. He's going to the UN to establish rules and regulations within the US since no congress would give him the treaty he wants. He is completely above all laws and all mankind what a loser. He should just go.

Obama is a puppet president, the Neocons who run the Military, Intelligence, Corporate defense industry, CIA and AIPAC tell the fool Obama what to do. He is simply a cheap suit filled with a black liberal to make deomocrats happy to support Neocon war mongering. Meanwhile Kiev is getting it's fucking ass handed to it. All sources report huge rebel offensive smashing Kiev's army to bits. No idea what Kiev will do next, ask for NATO military rescue is perhaps coming.

isis is in both syria and iraq and neither has the will or means to get rid of it...... therefor we must due to threats made by its leader against the ussa. failure to do so is a repeat of the leadup to 9/11/01.... far as intel goes wtf is nsa doing and satellites and human intel? we dont have any ...bs.... the obumbler is NOT UP TO SPEED BECAUSE HE DOESNT READ THE DAILY BRIEF... and he only makes political decisions.... intel and the pentagon have been telling him to act for over a year... fund raisers, golf and vacations take priority.

the journalist could have been rescued basis the intel provided to obumbler.... but he delayed a month and foley was moved 2 days prior to the rescue attempt.... leak....

Everything that has happened has been foretold and dismissed as whackjob conspiracy. EVERYBODY made their beds and will now sleep in them. This is what happens when you give people the choice to selectively tune out reality because it just isn't very convenient.
